Brother Monochrome Laser Printer, Compact Multifunction Printer and Copier, DCPL2550DW, Includes 4 Month Refresh Subscription Trial and Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready

This is the second Brother Printer (of its Ilk) since 2017 in a moderately small office stetting. -- I am very impressed (with both, but, also, with this one's upgrades).Everything in life seems to learning curve, these days, but this wasn't too bad. I hope it holds up as well as the last one (this one was installed January of 2023) and yes, bought thru Amazon.We use is as a stand-alone so not all the features are likely taken advantage of, but it does as it is asked. -- The one glitch is the toner (on regular setting) is very light compared to the old one and I have to change the contrast setting each time I want to copy something. I find that annoying, and hoe that when the real toner cartridge (XL) is installed it wont be like that, Especially since I have not figured out, yet, how to set it where it is most suitable.HOWEVER, I want to point out to the person above who was a little upset about the "low toner" notification coming on, at 300 copies -- if it is anything like the old printer (previous seminal HP model) it takes a VERY long time for the toner to actually run out -- and that is not an anomaly - because we also have a Brother fax which took a similar model toner cartridge as the last printer did (4/6) The fax is also the second one since 2017, but for a very different reason, and it behaves very similarly, re the toner notification: -- lots of of it before the toner runs out. --On this printer, I am sure we have used more than 700 pages (the cartridge that comes with it says it will print about that many) and so, even with adjusting the contract UP -- we are STILL on the original cartridge (what do you bet when, when I go in on Monday I will get the notification LOL -- but still, I will expect to have quite a while before I actually have to change it.)In fairness -- I am lucky to have someone set these thing up for me, as I am already wearing too many hats to manage it time wise, and the weight of them is a bit more than I (at age 70) can handle, so any difficulties are not known to me.I DO plan to purchase one of these to set up with my home office/Mac aspect as like many I am worn out with all the ink I waste, never mind having to get up and put more paper in (Hp version only holds about 60 sheets LOL) -- coz I don't really care about color anymore.Bottom line --GREAT Printer (my light ink is likely an anomaly) but DO read the differences in the very similar-looking but vastly different prices ($199.00 for this one up to $399 for one that looks almost the same and has a few different features but some which appear to be less useful --- This one's little screen is worth the trade off for being able to scan duplex if that's what's important to you.

I've been very happy with this printer. Works way better than the Epson color printer I had.The toner cartridge that came with lasted pretty well, I don't know how many prints. I replaced it with an EZink TN760 that seems to work great.Feeding envelops into the manual feed slot can be a little finicky, especially compared to the Samsung that I often use.Double side printing, auto feed tray, and wifi connectivity all work great.I use it on a switched outlet, so if I forget to shut it off, it'll start up when I flip the light on.Not sure if it's some settings I changed, but it does seem to print not as dark as I think it should.Still very happy with it. It prints when I tell it to without saying I need to replace a cartridge every time I turn it on!

My very old, once refurbished 13-year-old Brother printer's print quality was fading. I figured I knew what was wrong—an $80 fix—but I guessed there wasn't too much more time left in the old boy. I knew I wanted another Brother. I narrowed down my requirements and talked myself out of wireless capabilities—pointless for me. That made this model just right for my needs and compulsive printing habits.The new printer arrived. I was too busy getting ready for school to start setting it up that weekend. By mid-week, I realized that my emergency strategy of bolding everything I printed must have knocked something loose. The documents were coming out of the old printer crisp and clear even if I forgot to bold them. I arranged to return the new printer, suspecting that it was likely a poor decision. Sure enough, within a few more days, the crisp print faded out. I was right back to pale gray on white, too faint to read without intense concentration and a bright light.I will reorder this model soon. Very soon. I wish I would learn to stop triple- and quadruple-thinking my decisions. I never trust myself. One thing I am sure about. The returned model was and is the perfect Brother model for me.Even if this might not be exactly your model, I suggest Brother as your brand. I had been sold on another brand until I got Old Trusty. That Brother converted me. However, as I read reviews and researched for my new purchase, I became convinced that Brother was the only brand that made sense for home offices and small businesses. You don't have to take my word for it but if you don't, you'll spend about a week of your life coming to the same conclusion I did.I will re-buy the Brother DCPL2550DW. Very soon. I just have to let enough time pass before my husband remembers how he had to haul the return all the way to Missoula because I was out of town that week. I figure he'll forgive me in a month or two. Or he will just forget. That's why I love him. He really does forgive and forget.

Sometime it indicates a paper jam without having one, causing the operator to open the printer and remove the toner cartridge. Temporary settings should last a bit longer.
